A Kind Man Becomes Ruthless | The Winter Of Our Discontent (John Steinbeck) BOOK REVIEW

Mere Mortals Book Reviews

Fret your silly head not, you won't leave this book discontented.

'The Winter Of Our Discontent' by John Steinbeck takes place in the fictional New Baytown where Ethan Hawley has become dissatisfied with his life. The lingering legacy of his family is in stark contrast to the life of grocery store clerk trying to support his family. He decides to change his circumstances but must act ruthlessly to gain what he wants. He spends a lot of time in his head moralising, giving a great insight into the compromises we must all face at times.
